A Chance for a Pottery,


Chance for Pottery:
The Lambertviile improvement Com
pany are now making an extra effort to
raise 1900 shares of their capital stock,
each share being $25 90, which would
amount to the sum of $50, GOO-enough
to erect on their lands first class pot.
terry, which some Trenton parties have
offered to lease and run on terms to net
the stockholders per cent. clear of taxes
insurance, &c The Improvement Com
pany 10 March last, raised about 500
shares and more have been subscribed
since and now as the company has
fine offer to have large pottery located
in our city that will give employment to
200 to $50 hands, 1t should be the bust
ness of every property owner in or near
the city to aid in raising the capital
stock of this most-needed enterprise.
1t Is estimated that it would require
$32, 900 for land and buildings for pot
terry in Trenton, such as is proposed, but
as our company have the land at low fig.
ures, they think they can furnish our
Trenton friends pottery for about $780,
600, and as building materials are cheaper
lfere, 1t msy cost still less.
The Trenton parties that propose to
come bore, can raise $4,000 in Trenton,
for the purpose of establishing the BUSH
ness, and, Of course, will have to raise the
balance in Lambertyille, which will be
$2S, 200. As proposed the cost is estima
ted as follows
Land and Buildings, .,...$3 2. 600.
Machinery and Fixtures, .,......1s,00 600.
working Capital, .......SO, 900.
The pottery company will be a Joint
stock company with working capital, ma.
chinery aud fixtures aggregatiug the
amount of $4s, 900.
Considerable of the stock of each com.
pany has already been subscribed, yet
there remains more to be taken, aud II
the citizens of Lambertyiile wish TO see
their city become prosperous and all its
interests advanced, they must subscribe
literally to this enterprise. The Com
mittees will this week call on all who are
disposed to help carry forward these mea,
sures. The employment of 200 or 25(
more hands in our city will add several
hundred to our present population and
require the building Of a great many new
houses for these people to live In.

Last week we gave a short notice of
the death of Jacob Reed. A correspond
ent sends as the following, which VIC pub
lish because 1t contains additional facts:
Jacob Reed, Esq, died suddenly of
apoplexy at his residence 10 West Am
well, six miles east of LambertviMe, on
Thursday, the 14th Inst. He was life
long resident of that township and a
large farmer and land owner, having in
his possession at the time of his death
the old homestead farm that was bought
by his great grandfather, Richard Reed,
April 20, 1747. 1t passed into the hands
of his son, John Reed, and then to the
subject of this sketch, having had only
three owners in the course of one hun
dred and forty years. Mr.. Reed was
much respected and held many offices in
the township in which he lived, 10 Am
well, before its division into East and
West Amwell, and In West Amwell be-
fore Lambertyille was set off by incorpor-
alton. Our Oldest citizens will recollect
casting their ballots for him at differ
ent times, and for various Offices. He
was born July 4, 1906, consequently was
in the eist year Of his age. He was buried
on Monday, the 18th inst, in the family
plot at Harborton cemetery"

1t is not to be wondered at that these door,
ignorant people, who live on or by the sea
all their lives, are imbued with queer notions
and superstitions concerning it. They do
not acknowledge this readily, are rather
ashamed of it, indeed, and it takes time and
familiarity to bring these superstitions to
light. They appear to endow the sea with
sentient power, with an intelligent and gen.
orally malignant will. 1t is ever ready to
undo human labor and destroy human hope

The stone, they say, it places carefully among

eggs, and after the brood is fledged and has
flown it is left behind in the nest 1t has,
however, suffered a great change. 1t is now

haunts dry wooded places. 1t is so veuomous,

were batting His mouth was open and
snake crept down his throat. After this he
felt unwell, though he did not know why,
and none of the doctors could tell what was
the matter with him. At last he consulted
the professors of the University OF Naples
They hung him up by his feet and placed
great bowl of milk beneath his head The
snake, attracted by the smell, crept out to
drink, but still kept great part of its body
in the mouth and throat of the coachman.
A young Doctor sprang forward, pulled it
out and threw it away, when it was killed.
